AustriaOutlook and next steps
• No massive implementation of RFID/EPC in “open loops” expected for the next 12-18 months
• Some Austrian suppliers are part of the METRO and REWE roll-out in Germany
• We see very successful implementations in “closed loops” like tagging of RTIs
• Next steps for GS1 Austria• Further rollout of our RFID/EPCglobal Test CENTER
• Promotion of EPCIS
